Can You Touch the Internet? A Journey in Remote Touch With Edge Computing and Haptic Coding

Virtual reality applications in the cloud have reached a high level of sophistication, offering immersive experiences that blur the line between the digital and physical worlds. This talk explores how edge computing and haptic coding are pushing these boundaries further and enabling remote touch experiences in addition to visual and auditory sensations. Discover how edge computing reduces latency by processing data closer to users, essential for real-time tactile applications with "the human in the loop". We'll delve into innovative haptic coding techniques that ensure seamless and intuitive interactions. Explore practical applications like remote surgery, online shopping, or gaming and discuss challenges in security, scalability, and reliability. As developers, you'll gain insights into the future of digital interactions and learn how to make the intangible tangible, redefining our connection with the digital world and paving the way for new possibilities in remote experiences.
